    <dd>The methods for handling text and language rendering in documents on
        a computer have evolved in western countries for several decades. These
        methods serve the needs of western character sets quite well, but there
        <em>are</em> other countries and users with other language needs. Methods
        to handle rendering in different languages have evolved in parallel to
        the methods used for western character sets.
        <br><br>

        Some character sets are much more complex than western character sets,
        and different schemes have evolved to handle this complexity in text
        entry and display. The International properties exist to facilitate
        the use of these special rendering schemes for non-Western languages.
